GRACE FAMILY CHRISTMAS TREE
Once again, Grace’s Family Christmas Tree has returned to
our Fellowship Hall during the Advent and Christmas
season. The tree is decorated with special ornaments given
by each family at Grace. If you’re new to our congregation
this past year, please bring an ornament to place on the tree,
including your name; we look forward each year to seeing
the tree grow with decorations representing our Grace
family!
THE CHRISMON TREE
The word “Chrismon” is a combination of the words “Christ”
and “monogram”, depicted as symbols of Christ. The colors
of gold and white reflect His majesty and purity. Among
these symbols are six Resurrection Butterflies placed in
memory of Miriam Voigt, Judy Hinrichs, Leland Bailey,
Sally Williams, Billie Kirkman and John Lindler; those
Saints who’ve gone before us and now rest eternally with our
Lord and Savior.
CHRISTMAS EVE
Christmas Eve Service will be held on December 24th at
7:30 PM.
GRACE CONGREGATION COUNCIL
Newly elected council members, William Anderson and Tom
Nuckols, will be installed during the worship service next
Sunday, December 28th. The council will have its annual in-
house retreat and planning session for 2026 on Saturday,
January 17th , from 9:00 AM – noon.
CHOIR CLUB
Choir Club will suspend their meetings throughout Advent
and Christmas. The weekly meetings will resume on
Thursdays from 6:30 – 7:15 PM beginning on
January 8th. This is a fun and educational time to familiarize
yourself with the upcoming hymns for Sunday’s worship
service and learn the history behind the chosen hymns, their
hymn writers and their connection to the liturgy. Consider
adding this opportunity to your weekly schedule, all are
welcome!

consumed products, but any contributions will be greatly
appreciated.
